First off, how much do you already know about money management?

Where does most of your money currently go?

What's a financial goal you want to achieve this year?

What's a financial goal you hope to achieve in the next three years?

What's a major expense you're anticipating in the next one to three years?

What would you say is your biggest setback when it comes to money?

Lastly, what's a "small" pet peeve you have when it comes to managing money?

If you've ever read Refinery29's money series of the same name, you might notice something familiar about this book. It has personal money diaries from real women strewn throughout its pages — and they're bound to inspire you, make you cringe, and teach you something new. The book is basically a guide to doing, well, almost everything when it comes to money, including handling debt, managing family and money, negotiating your salary, buying a house, saving for retirement, having an emergency fund, and more. And they're all packaged into witty, digestibly sized chapters.

[_Money Diaries_](https://www.amazon.com/Refinery29-Money-Diaries-Everything-Finances/dp/1501197991/r) by Lindsey Stanberry

If you're someone who needs a tough love approach to managing your money, you've come to the right book. But before Ramit Sethi can get down to the nitty-gritty of showing you the importance of compound interest and telling you which banks to stay away from and which ones are actually worth your hard-earned cash, he's going to change the way you think about the money you spend. And no, he isn't another one of those financial gurus who are here to tell you that you'd be a millionaire if you just stopped buying $6 coffee.

[_I Will Teach You to Be Rich_](https://www.amazon.com/Will-Teach-You-Rich-Second/dp/1523505745/) by Ramit Sethi

If you're looking to make the transition from beginner to badass when it comes to managing your money, look no further. This book will help you _finally_ know the basics the way you know your favorite Starbucks order. It's packed with all of the interesting, dare I say _juiciest_, parts of finance — like spending money with friends and having the (money) talk with your partner — and none of the scary stuff, like credit card debt and budgeting.

[_Broke Millennial_](https://www.amazon.com/Broke-Millennial-Scraping-Financial-Together/dp/0143130404/) by Erin Lowry

Okay, so you really know your money stuff, but maybe you're trying to make the changes that'll help you gracefully glide across the metaphorical finish line. You've probably realized by now that you can crunch all the numbers you want, but if you don't make some adjustments to your financial _behaviors and habits_, you may be costing yourself some serious $$$. And that's what this book is here to teach you.

[_The Psychology of Money_](https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Money-Timeless-lessons-happiness/dp/0857197681/) by Morgan Housel

Maybe you share your finances with a partner (or will soon) and you've noticed a few ups and downs. Managing money is hard enough when you're single, but when you throw another person into the mix, it can feel far beyond your comfort zone, especially if the two of you don't always see eye to eye on the subject. David Bach's book may be able to soothe some of the worry and, dare I say, even make managing money as a couple _fun_. So if you and your partner furrow your brows when it comes to managing credit cards or have no idea what to do about retirement, this book is here to lend a hand.

[_Smart Couples Finish Rich_](https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Couples-Finish-Revised-Updated/dp/0525572937/) by David Bach

Digging yourself out of a financial hole can be tough, but it's not impossible — take it from Tiffany Aliche, the Budgetnista, who did just that! Her book gives you a detailed (but simple) 10-step technique you can implement to manage your debt, pay your bills, save your money, and still make an attainable plan for affording that vacation or car you really want.

[_Get Good With Money_](https://www.amazon.com/Get-Good-Money-Becoming-Financially/dp/0593232747/) by Tiffany Aliche
